Mechanism of exogenous methyl jasmonate mediated AsA-GSH cycle in Summer Black grape against low temperature stress by ZHANG Shaowei, ZHU Qianyan, ZHAO Xiaogai, ZHOU Bing, LI Peng, LI Guirong

“…[Objective] The aim of this study was to explore the response mechanism of the exogenous Methyl jasmonate (MeJA) regulating the ascorbic acid-glutathione (AsA-GSH) cycle of Vitis vinifera Summer Black grape to low-temperature stress. [Methods] One-year-old Summer Black grape plants were used as materials, and different concentrations of MeJA treatment groups and low-temperature stress treatment groups were set up. (1) MeJA treatment: the selected 1-year-old Summer Black grape plants were randomly divided into 5 groups, with 10 plants in each group.0 (CK), 50, 100, 150, 200 μmol·L-1 MeJA solution were sprayed on the leaves, and the spraying amount was suitable for the uniform wetting of the leaf surface without water dripping. …”

Accurate estimation of permeability reduction resulted from low salinity water flooding in clay-rich sandstones by Xiaojuan Zhang, Muntadher Abed Hussein, Tarak Vora, Anupam Yadav, Asha Rajiv, Aman Shankhyan, Sachin Jaidka, Mehul Manu, Farzona Alimova, Issa Mohammed Kadhim, Zainab Jamal Hamoodah, Fadhil Faez, Ahmad Khalid

“…Abstract Accurate estimation of permeability reduction in clay-rich sandstones during low-salinity water flooding is critical for optimizing enhanced oil recovery (EOR) strategies and ensuring efficient reservoir management. Traditional methods often rely on costly experiments or simplified empirical correlations, which struggle to capture the complex, non-linear interactions governing this phenomenon. …”
